Term limits established for public members of the Lessard-Sams Outdoor Heritage Council.

HF 3671 establishes an eight-year term limit for public members of Minnesota's Lessard-Sams Outdoor Heritage Council, effective July 1, 2026. Public members (appointed by the governor, Senate, and House) may serve no more than eight years total, with a six-month exception allowed only to fill a vacancy. This change applies to all public members appointed on or after the effective date, and years served before July 2026 count toward the limit. The bill directly affects individuals appointed to advise on outdoor heritage issues like wetlands, wildlife habitat, and natural resource policy. It does not impact legislative members or the council's advisory role.
